Enough of that holiday stuff, time for some woodworking. First class of the year for me is at Bob Van Dyke’s place in the wilds of Connecticut. Saturday & Sunday, February 8th & 9th, 2014 I’ll be at the Connecticut Valley School of Woodworking in Manchester, CT to teach a 2-day class in carving 17th-century style patterns in oak. Bob’s school gets an astounding array of teachers and students, the focus on “period” furniture is first-rate.
we’ll have oak, we’ll have carving tools. Students bring their tools too…come see Bob get unsettled when we look at slides. He sees faces in all the patterns, and it’s not a good thing…

Peter,
I know traditionally riven woods were used and Oak is one of the best.
Just wondering how this would look in Cherry or Maple?
Do you use other woods?

I’ll be there with bells on and film camera in tow.
I really like it when individuals get together and share opinions.
Great blog, continue the good work!
